eRezept, gemeinsam in die Zukunft?

The German Federal Minister of Health, Jens Spahn, has declared digitalisation of the healthcare industry to be one of the core objectives of his work. In addition to the electronic patient file, the electronic prescription (eRezept) is currently at the focus of attention. The eRezept is supposed to have been implemented in the German healthcare sector by 2020.

Various initiatives by several stakeholders from the healthcare industry are currently working on this development. But what is a future electronic prescription for Germany going to look like? Is it merely a transformation of the current “Muster 16” regulation into electronic form or will the framework conditions have to be adjusted?

What consequences does the prescription have for people involved in the health management sector - is a new approach to processes required? What role do standards play in the electronic prescription specification?

Various stakeholders will be discussing these questions in what promises to be a lively discussion.

This session is organised and held by the Workgroup Pharmaceutical Regulation and Medicament Therapy Security of the German Association of Health IT Vendors – bvitg e. V.
